Heh. As long as it wasn't his property I was on, he'd have had a choice to move out of the way or die where he stood.

actually, as Tomas says - if it wasn't in a private area. The rep or whomever has no legal ability or right to prevent you from taking any photos of the car (or people or anything else - that's what gives paparazzi the right to do what they do). It is a "risk" you deal with and have to accept if you go out in public, if you don't like it, stay inside. Should have told him to get the "F" out of your way before you maul him and taken your pictures.

IF that pic and the protective cladding is to be believed (two big IFs) I guess that would mean the sliding door on the passenger side of the T2B concept was dropped in favor of standard doors. I would assume that would carry over to the driver's side as well in that case. I could be fine with that, but I actually liked the idea of the concept car's doors after seeing it in action in my co-worker's Element.

I wonder how the gas mileage is going to be if they increase the engine size and weight?

I saw one at BJ's(I35 and 121) two weeks ago, in that very same dooky green color. It was quite ugly, I can assure you.

Heh. That's what happens when you use someone else's bandwidth to serve images - you get whatever they change it to when they change.

(I used to have folks not only hijack my copyrighted images, and even use my server's bandwidth to display them. Every now and then some commercial use of 'em would really bug me and I'd put some horrible pornographic image in it's place on their page. One company actually had the guts to complain. Too bad.)

If the image works


It won't be called the xB anymore. Maybe the tB. Or something.
It is due next summer and will be larger than the xB.

As you can see, it does look pretty similar to the t2B concept from last year. But with 4 doors.
At first there were rumors of the new car being powered by the Camry's 2.4 liter engine, just like the tC.
But they are now also talking about a 1.5 and 1.8 Liter.
Maybe the US will get the 2.4, or we might have different versions available. Who knows...
At least in Japan, the car will be offered in FWD and 4WD. With a CVT or 5 speed manual.

don't see it happening the amount of interest in the car means they want to increase the ability to supply parts like the supercharger for it from the dealer.
